Enjoyed lunch with a friend today! Shartel is always buzzing with folks grabbing breakfast or lunch. Great spot for a quick meal. I enjoyed the Chicken Caesar Salad ($13 with tip.) Food was out of the window and at our table in 5 minutes. It feels like a local spot for neighborhood folks to come and spend time. Bring the family. Celebrate the space. read more

I stopped by about 10 am one morning after walking. I've been to this restaurant before but it's been years since I was there. I ordered breakfast. It was served promptly. Food was hot and prepared as I ordered it. Staff was friendly. Restaurant was clean. It's also quiet which I love and even stayed pretty quiet as it got busier while I was there. I will definitely be going back. Thank you. read more

I use to come to here a lot a few years back but today was a bit disappointing. I came in for some breakfast. As I was in line an older white gentleman cut me in line and as I tried to get his/and the lady taking orders attention to let them know I was next they both ignored me. After she took his order , I still went ahead and ordered and informed her I was trying to get her attention, but she just stared at me. I honestly should have just left but I just blew it off. After receiving my order and opening it my hash browns were cold, looked as if they had been sitting for a while and they were unseasoned. No pepper flakes, salt or anything. My bacon was burnt in the middle and the food lacked flavor. I will not be returning. Side note: I did appreciate how kind the lady was that gave me my to-go order. She was a younger lady with locs. Very nice and respectful. read more

Shartel Cafe - Hash browns - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

The food is alright, the prices can't be beat, and until today, the service had always been good. Today, I called in an order, headed to the café, and paid for it when I arrived. The cashier told me my name would be called when the order was ready. Since my order had been called about 10 minutes before I got there, I didn't think much of it when it wasn't ready right away, so I went and sat down. Ten minutes passed, then twenty, and my order still hadn't been called. Keep in mind, I was sitting very close to the counter, so I could hear every name being called out. Food kept coming out constantly, so I knew they were busy. Then I noticed that a group who walked in after me and ordered at the counter had already received their food. At that point, 25 minutes had passed since I arrived, and all I had ordered was a side of fries. I finally went back to the same cashier who took my payment and asked if she could check on my order. She asked, "Is your name so-and-so?" I said yes. She then turned around and grabbed my order from behind the counter, where it had apparently been sitting for more than 15 minutes -- I saw when they placed it there. Since my name wasn't called, i did not realize that was my order. I told her my name had never been called. She just shrugged her shoulders as if to say, "I don't know," and walked away. No apology, no acknowledgment that they made a mistake, nothing. Never again! read more

Good homestyle comfort food, very reasonably priced menu and love the amazing staff! I highly recommend the meatloaf special when it's available...closest thing to mom's meatloaf that you'll get! And there cakes are incredibly good! read more

Great food, considerate staff, wait times not too bad. I find myself here often - a reprieve from this charade of a life I lead

Deneen, Patrick, the staff, and the food are awesome. Fairly priced, delicious home-style cafe

I love stopping by here for breakfast when in this area of the city! The perfect cozy cafe atmosphere coupled with friendly service and good food can't be beat.

Patrick, Deneen, and the old-school crew get it right. Great people and a special place for breakfast.

Great food, excellent coffee, great people, and clean pleasant environment! If you eat here frequently, you will eventually run into everyone you know! It's just that good read more

Absolutely amazing no complaints. The breakfast sandwich has perfect proportions with two eggs. The ladies upfront claimed that they had the best cinnamon roll in town not sure if that award was handed out but it's definitely deserved. I also loved the interior very open nice seating lovely interior super nice vibe. Couldn't recommend the place more and the prices are very reasonable for the quality of food as well it's good food for a good price. read more

I love this place.. the Caribbean jerk chicken salad is really good.. everything is good here. I always get a gigantic cookie to take home. My only complaint is they are not very friendly. I have experienced this almost every time I go. No one smiles. The younger people with all the piercing and tattoos make you feel like they are tolerating you being there..not rude, but it's every time..the food makes it worth going. Food and hole in the wall quaintness. read more

Everything on the menu is awesome. Breakfast, lunch, and daily specials are all good values. The service is order at counter, and they bring food out to you. Drinks are self serve. Busy at lunch time (they stop serving breakfast at 10:30), but they are usually quick. Highly recommended read more

Awesome, old school, hole in the wall. The quiche I had was great and made like the kind I grew up on. Smoothie was a bit too sweet for a morning smoothie for me. Prices are very reasonable. Definitely would recommend to others read more

This is one of my favorite all-time restaurants in Oklahoma City :-). Since I have decided to go plant base though, I have been craving some Shortell café. I needed one last meal from here before I totally committed 100%. I always choose the egg white omelette with all the fixings. They don't charge extra for the amount of ingredients you put in your omelette :-). I always get their salsa because it is fresh and delicious. I put the hashbrowns in the fresh fruit in it is amazing. You won't be wrong with anything you pick care :-). I read more

Oh my word!! I just found out about this Cafe a couple of weeks ago and now I eat there almost every day I'm in the office working. They have such a good variety of items to choose from & everything I've had has been fresh & delicious. So far I've had the chicken fried steak, which does not have heavy breading & has great flavor it came with mashed potatoes & fresh green beans. Caesar salad = amazing. They make the dressing in house and it's fantastic. I've had their meatloaf daily special which comes with a delicious red sauce on top with mashed potatoes and corn. Tomato soup & creamy spinach and mushroom soup. Both delicious. You can tell they make it all house. Their side pasta salad is delicious also. Lots of goodies in it. The only thing I've had that didn't really knock my socks off has been the chicken salad sandwich. Lacked flavor for me but my coworkers like it. The only thing I know they don't make in house (besides their desserts) is the potato salad. And their desserts are delicious as they come from La Baguette. The employees are always friendly. Restaurant is always busy. Food is always fresh. And they are fast. Love this Café!!!!!! read more

I have been coming here for three years now. Never disappoints. This is a good diner with all the bells and whistles you'd expect. 1. Great coffee. 2. Soft fluffy biscuits. 3. Malted pancakes and waffles. 4. Best cinnamon rolls around. 5. Super friendly staff. 6. Real butter. 7. On Saturdays the owner gives the kiddos cookies. She interacts with patrons and just makes you feel like home. Come check it out if you haven't yet! A great place to be comfortable and get good down home food. read more

Love the Java Dave's Coffee -- particularly the Snickerdoodle flavor. (Java Dave's is great!) I also love that I can drop in here and get a nice egg white omelette. (I almost always order this with fresh fruit and hasbrowns -- just the perfect, protein-laden breakfast!) Nice service -- consistently. Good menu prices! read more

Stop by at this cafe for lunch before we headed to the mall. The staff was super nice! Food was good!just ordered the usual breakfast food. Eggs and waffles hash browns. Will probably come back again when we're in the area! read more

Pros: bakery items, front house staff, coffee, and a select few items from the menu as long as the cook is happy that day. Cons: inconsistent food quality, the cook's emotional status or their care for your meal. Plenty of parking, and access to the restaurant is easy. The bakery items and the front house staff deserve FIVE stars read more

Shartel Cafe is open for both breakfast and lunch & either is a great time to visit. Today we picked the lunch hour and chose wisely. They have a solid menu, not too extensive, plus daily specials. We chose the Italian chicken focaccia sandwich, a Veggie Veggie wrap with carrot soup, and the Caribbean jerk chicken salad. We topped it off by splitting a carrot cake between us. The Italian chicken focaccia got high marks for its quality, bread, & flavor. Filled with grilled chicken, cheese, Lettuce, & tomatoes. Served with a side of very tasty fries, we would definitely order it again. The Veggie Veggie wrap was filled with a tasty mixture of hummus, tomatoes, cucumbers, and leafy vegetables. She also had a bowl of the carrot soup, surprisingly good. The Caribbean jerk chicken salad had a homemade citrus dressing with candied pecans, pineapple, and of course caribbean jerked chicken on a bed of leafy greens. From previous experience I highly recommend their chicken fried steak. Open from 6:30 am to 2:00 pm Monday through Saturday it's hard to go wrong at Shartel Cafe. By the way the wait staff is outstanding. read more

The cinnamon rolls are to die for. The breakfast quesadilla is my favorite. Such a great mom and pop shop. Eat local!

My wife and I love this place. We come here for weekend brunch all the time. The pancakes are fantastic. We also love the breakfast quesadilla and the omelets. The staff is super friendly and the owners are always there on the weekends. They even give free cookies to the kids. The prices are great. Not expensive at all. Relaxed, casual atmosphere. They offer breakfast for dinner too. read more

We enjoy this neighborhood cafe for breakfast or lunch. Sandwich and salad selection is great for the healthy eater. Ready baked goods range from cookies two cakes to cinnamon rolls. Warm dishes like the daily quiche and breakfast quesadilla make a hearty meal. THE PANCAKES ARE DELICIOUS thick and fluffy (with peanut butter ). I love the coffee bar: $1.75 gets you a mug and four coffee options (including snickerdoodle). This place is usually busy, but a few tables are outside for patio seating. They are puppy friendly on the patio! Wait time is usually 10 to 15 minutes for your meal. We've enjoyed this local spot many times before, but the five star review today results from our experience with the owners. There was some confusion while ordering with caused our final ticket to be short a much desired pancake. Owner "D" was more than gracious enough to fill our order and provide a complimentary baked good to show her appreciation of our loyalty as customers. We are stoked to have a great local restaurant in walking distance of our new house. read more

I love Shartel Cafe. First, they use Java Dave's coffee beans. They even sell the beans. They are smooth and flavorful beans. They also have a large selection of flavors for lattes and cream sodas. Everything I've ever here has been excellent. They make a daily quiche which is always good. Their breakfast reminds me of home. You can't go wrong here. Their cinnamon rolls are perfect. Plenty of cinnamon and the perfect amount of icing. In fact, their bakery items are all wonderful. And the employees are all wonderful and nice and friendly. read more
